Just got confirmation from Don Hall that he has secured a ticket for me to go see the LIVE Broadcast of This American Life for Thursday evening at the AMC Rivereast Cinema.
Wow.
Just Wow.
The deal is, they're performing the show LIVE in New York and AS IT HAPPENS, they're going to beam it, via invisible electrical waves, into movie theaters, around the country for Broadcast. And since it's live, we don't know WHAT will happen? Or WHAT will be said. I honestly don't even know who the guests are going to be.
I've been monitoring these tickets for a few weeks now, since TAL announced the show. The first week that they were on sale, I was too broke to even consider buying them. A week later, when I checked again, it was sold out for all five of the Chicago locations.
End of Discussion. Sold Out. Forget it Son, No Ticket For You.
Until last night.
Last Night, whilst Pizza Pie Partying (pics pending) with Don and Jen, I asked them if they were attending the live showing. Turns out Don has a show and Jen has a rehearsal and they're flat out. I lamented the unquestionable Sold Out-edness of the show and Don said, "Oh, I can get you a ticket for that. You want to go?"
"Yes, YES! Absolutely, yes!"
"No problem. Shoot me a reminder email tomorrow and I'll take care of it."
So, I did.
And he did.
Apparently there's a ticket to the AMC RiverEast (top shelf!) screening for this coming Thursday night, waiting for yours truly.
I don't want to know how Don Hall works his little miracles. I just accept and appreciate that he can.
Soon to be spending time with this guy...

Cheers,
Mr.B

And he was so good in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".
Enjoy the show, you two.
